My Final Predictions for Apple's Upcoming Event
Hey guys, what's up? It's Duncan, and today I'm here with my final predictions on what we're about to see at Apple's event next Wednesday. There's no shortage of rumors about what is to come, but there is also some very solid evidence to back up a lot of the speculation. So, I'm going to outline what I'm thinking is on the way.
First off, I'm sticking with my original prediction from several months ago: the iPod touch will get a camera. It's backed up by probably the most solid rumors you can get, between the possible prototype that was shown a few weeks ago and the huge number of cases they're already on the market for it to just make sense. It'll be a great addition to an already potent package, basically turning the iPod touch into an all-around powerhouse gadget. You'll be able to listen to music, take photos, hopefully video, use apps, browse the web, and perhaps even Skype calls with one 200 device - you replace your point and shoot camera, flip camcorder, mp3 player, and your PSP or DS.
One thing I'm not entirely sure about is the placement of the microphone, assuming there's going to be one. I doubt it will be placed like the microphone on the iPhone, simply because it would really start to encroach on the iPhone's turf. That aside, though, I'm betting on the iPod touch staying mostly the same with the addition of a camera, microphone, and upgraded internals such as processor and RAM from the iPhone 3GS. I'll bet on all the flash memory of the iPod touches being doubled to 16, 32, and 64 gigabytes. Lastly, the prices will likely go down to $199, $299, and $399 for each model respectively.
Next is the iPod nano, which is nearly as easy as the design of the iPod touch was added a couple of months ago. So was the nano, it will also gain a camera there will likely be a lower resolution than the iPod touch camera and will probably not record video. The screen will get stretched slightly but by and large it will remain the same physically. It's possible that it could also gain a 64-gigabyte flash option, but I wouldn't be entirely sure of it.
Lastly is the iPod classic, which many people are quite sure is going to be discontinued. I'm on the fence about this one, though. Rumors have mentioned that it may also gain a camera, but there hasn't been much information about that. If the classic remains in the lineup, it wouldn't be a stretch to say that it would gain a camera. I doubt that it would switch to flash memory myself, as then it's just going to be a less capable version of the iPod touch. It is somewhat of a slim possibility.
The Apple tablet, which has been driving people mad with envy forever, seems unlikely not to be announced at the event. But I'm somewhat suspicious about this one, too. It's not wise to just assume that Apple will follow everyone's idea of this event to the T. So, while it's probably unlikely, I wouldn't count anything out as just because I can't believe that Apple would rather wait a couple of months missing the holiday season and release it later who knows.
On the software side, both a new version of iTunes and a new digital album format called "Cocktail" are expected. But I'm not all that excited about either of these. The supposed screenshots of the next iTunes show it keeping the same terrible interface it's had forever, which seems to me. Cocktail doesn't seem to bring anything new except digital booklets and package deals solo. I'm reserving judgment on these two until I actually see them.
So, guys, those are my predictions for Apple's upcoming event. What do you guys think? Any other ideas feel free to let me know anyway thanks for watching guys.
